Meter updates for Azure Storage
Pricing | Storage webpage
To help clarify Azure Storage-related billing, we’ll be changing Storage and
Storage-related resource GUIDs. This change is set to take effect between
April 16 and May 16, 2016. We recommend customers make appropriate changes to
the Storage resource GUIDs in custom applications before April 16, 2016. As
part of these changes, storage transaction meters will be separated into
multiple meters based on the type of transaction and the associated storage
service. Please note that there is no price change as part of this update.
In addition, the resource name, Standard IO - Table/Queue (GB), will be
separated into two names:
|
•
|
Standard IO – Table (GB)
|
|
•
|
Standard IO – Queue (GB)
|
To see before and after GUIDs for the various resource types, please visit
the Azure Storage GUIDs webpage.
Note: As an Azure partner, you are receiving this email because we are
required to notify you of all pricing changes. This is the only communication
per enrollment that you will receive directly from Microsoft regarding these
pricing changes.
Thank you,
Your Azure Team
